When Folk Horror Becomes Therapy

Jaye Reads from THE UNMOTHERS by Leslie J. Anderson

Content Warning: This excerpt contains strong language about sexual situations.


Have you ever found yourself so wrapped up in a book that it feels like it’s reading you instead? That’s precisely what happened with this chapter from The Unmothers by Leslie J. Anderson, marking a profound moment in my #FolkHorrorFall journey. It was like stumbling upon a hidden door in the woods—there was no turning back.

50 Shades of Jaye is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

Watch as this chapter transforms into my therapy session right before your eyes. That’s the beauty of masterful horror writing—it delves deep, peeling away the layers of your soul to unveil something ancient and powerful. It awakens the witch within us, the mystery beyond us, tapping into parts of ourselves that only art can reach.

Stay tuned for a full book vlog and review of this novel, which is coming soon!

Thanks for watching, listening, and embracing the shadows with me.

Happy Halloween, and blessed Samhain!
